    Xerox D125 Alignment

    I've been using Fiery Tray Alignment to get it to look that good but as you can see it still doesn't fully fix the problem. Since the ultimate goal of all of this is to be able to auto-switch between two trays, Fiery Tray Alignment isn't going to be an option and one of my big concerns is that...

    Xerox D125 Alignment

    Side 2 every time. Zoom in on this. Same image is printed on both sides. Side 1 is the one facing up. You can see through to the 2nd side. Since this is being auto-duplexed, lead edge of side 1 aligns (attempts to align) to tail edge of side 2. Oh, also, this is 11x17 paper so for the purposes...

    Xerox D125 Alignment

    Yep, same result on all trays. Techs have already run the service mode alignment procedure many many times. I believe they did a full nvm reset at some point too. Still the same result. I got a call from the service manager last week. He said that according to the engineer at xerox who finally...

    Xerox D125 Alignment

    Unfortunately the D125 is much less sophisticated than the color machines. With our J75 we can adjust skew, perpendicularity, transfer voltage, etc etc for custom paper types. The D125 only allows for changing settings on the trays themselves and the only options are x shift, y shift...

    Xerox D125 Alignment

    Yeah, currently we are using Fiery Tray alignment to deal with the registration issues but, as you note, this restricts us to only feeding from a single tray. I definitely was unaware that the raster needs to be removed before printing again. I sure with our techs knew a single thing about this...

    Xerox D125 Alignment

    We own a D125. Not on lease. Purchased used from the Xerox reseller (now I think just part of Xerox actually). We also have a service maintenance agreement with them. Pretty much everything we print is identical. 11x17, 20# bond, duplexed. We pull from one of the two trays on our oversized high...

    Cheap cheap cheap black printer for low volume envelopes

    Yeah, I've got a couple production laser printers with bypass trays but haven't had any success with them despite trying recently and a couple years ago. I think it has something to do with envelope size. My printers require a custom setup for 6x9 envelope and despite doing that custom setup it...

    Cheap cheap cheap black printer for low volume envelopes

    Yeah, can't even pull one through the bypass. Part of the issue is determining size though. Did you try with a 6x9 envelope ever? I'm thinking a #10 might work.

    Cheap cheap cheap black printer for low volume envelopes

    We have about one or two print/mail jobs per month that are of quantity less than 200 which we do in house. Current workflow for those small jobs is, run all 9x6 catalog envelopes (flap on short edge) through postage meter with first class mail rate, affix both 1 return label and 1 destination...

    Xerox J75 and Xerox D125

    Nice. I'm going to direct message you so I can find you later if we decide to keep running it. Thx!

    Xerox J75 and Xerox D125

    You're the perfect person to ask... what does end of life really mean? I assume Xerox stops producing any parts or consumables for the given model unless there is a currently supported model that is still supported. From looking at the boxes of the various J75 consumables, it appears all...

    Xerox C70 opinions

    Machine is EOL. That’s what prompted this.

    Xerox C70 opinions

    Nope. Not resolved really though the machine is running. They are still terrible but they are cheap. You get what you pay for. Here's the issue: I'm not very excited about making a financial time commitment going forward. COVID has hit hard and not sure what the future holds. Cost and term will...

    Xerox C70 opinions

    Thank you. I'll take a look. Not a diehard fan of Xerox at all but we do have another printer with the same service provider currently so it would mean dealing with two different companies (not that that's the worst thing in the world).

    Xerox C70 opinions

    Wow. Thank you. The auto-duplexing issue will certainly be the occasional inconvenience. The slower speed is much more of a deal killer. The issue is indeed budget. The J75 we are currently running was purchased used with cash and now our service provider is kind of doing a rug pull. A month...

    Xerox C70 opinions

    Our service provider is playing games with our contract and kind of pushing us into a new machine. We currently have a Xerox J75 and they are proposing a Xerox C70. Our usage is only about 15k/mo and almost entirely just 12x18 65# Cover 4/4. As far as I can tell from looking at the spec sheet...

    Xerox Versant 3100 Press with 2-side Trimmer and Square Fold Trimmer

    Sorry for going off topic but do you mind explaining what this is? I'm an unhappy remanufactured Xerox J75 (and D125) owner and for 6 years now I've been trying to figure out who Xerox is. I bought it from the company that now services it. It was a few years old with reasonable mileage on it...

    Uncoated 20# Bond Wavy after digital printing

    I'm going to post a pic of my "wavy paper" as soon as I have a stack printed. Just took a pic of a stack of offset. It really isn't curl (though we deal with that as well). Paper settings are indeed correct in the fiery/printer. No problem with fusing/quality. One other consideration (perhaps...

    Uncoated 20# Bond Wavy after digital printing

    Offset sheets come off of the press perfectly flat. Digital sheets do come off of our digital printers very wavy. We struggle with our offline bookletmaker when he paper is wavy. Our high speed digital (Xerox D125) seems to be the worse culprit. I suspect the high heat required for high speed...

    Folded edge cracking

    The story I heard from my press operator is that our paper supplier stopped offering cutting a long time ago. We've recently started ordering from another supplier as well but, besides specialty papers, I'm not really familiar with any other companies. I'm in Metro Detroit.
